Hyena Page #3

Synopsis: Michael Logan is a police detective in London. His area is drugs and this brings him into contact with European drug syndicates. Logan is happy to turn a blind eye to their dealings, for a cut, or confiscate suppliers' merchandise for their own profit. So far he and his equally-crooked police colleagues have done quite well out of this. Then a deal he was planning with a member of a Turkish drug cartel goes sour and the balance of power swings to an Albanian gang, run by two brothers, the Kabashis. Logan quickly aims to provide the Albanians with the same service he provided the Turks, but they aren't easily lead. Meanwhile, he an his colleagues are being investigated by Internal Affairs. Just to make his life more complicated, he has been seconded to a vice task force, run by a former colleague whom he does not get along with.

And one more thing.

Report to me first with

anything from now on, eh?

No need to go to anyone else.

Fancy a bevvy after work?

I can't, I'm afraid. Too busy.

Oh, here he comes.

Looks a mess. The

fifth Teletubby.

Well, well, well,

it's the Likely Lads.

You never learn,

will you, Taylor?

What do you mean, Mike?

Well you won't get much

following me about.

Apart from backache

from sitting in this car

all day with your bum-chum.

We took a wrong turn, and

we ended up in this shithole.

Didn't we, John?

That's right, guv.

I'm sorry Michael, do you...

Do you live here?

Well if it's tea and

biscuits you're after,

I'm afraid I'm all out.

But, maybe I'll return

the compliment,

and pay you a little visit

sometime.

Did you hear that, John?

That sounds like a threat.

Noted, sir.

Good day, gents.

See you round.

Heads up, muppet!

The f*** your playin' at?

Calm down, mate.

It's Martin.

What you so touchy for?

F***ing kid.

Where you going?

Lovers' tiff?

Oh, f*** off, Taylor.

Charming. you'll have to

speak to me sooner or later.

C*nt.

His name is Spartak Bejko.

He's what you might call

a "creative accountant"

for the brothers.

Maybe he'll cooperate with us.

Okay.

You know best.

Size of that.

Nice place you've got here.

What do you want?

Don't be like that, Spartak.

We're here to help.

The Kabashis will be

going down sooner or later.

And when it comes,

they will use you.

If I talk to you, I'm dead.

Where do you keep

their financial records?

It's a f***ing waste of time.

Don't be stupid, Spartak.

You'll be going to prison

for a very long time.

I have nothing to say

to either of you.

F***ing talk.

David. F***ing talk.

David!

Talk.

David, let him go. Don't

you f***ing touch me!

All right?

Talk.

Come on.

David.

David!

He's losing consciousness,

for f***'s sake!

He's bluffing.

Wants to talk. Don't ya?

Eh?

David!

For f*** sake!

You might be right, yeah.

I think he stopped breathing.

Great idea, this.

F***ing great idea!

Barely looks like an

accountant, don't he?

Call me.

I know about Solucan.

I put 100 grand for

that f***ing route,

and I want it back.

I think it's time we went to

see the brothers, don't you?

That was just unnecessary,

all right?

He's already sh*t-scared.

He wasn't going to talk.

You know that.

I know that.

Let's go.

You gonna sort it?

Yeah, I'll set it up,

don't worry.

Good lad.

All right then.

We done?

- Yeah.

- Lovely.

Lovely speaking to you, Keith.

Yeah, you too.

Till half an hour, then?

You all right?

Mmm-hmm.

What did he say?

No threats.

Nothing?

No.

You done work?

Afraid not.

Right.

Just a pint, that's all.

It's up to you, mate.

Hello?

Is this Michael?

Ariana?

They sold me.

Sold you to who?

Different man has

locked me in a room.

I don't know where I am.

Can you see a window?

Ariana, can you see a window?

Yes.

What can you see out there?

A street?

I'm at the window.

I don't recognize anything!

What can you see out there?

Can you see shops? Cars?

Uh-huh.

Yes, some cars.

The number plates of the cars,

can you read them out to me,

Ariana?

Yes. Okay.

"S-G-5

"6-L-N."

Don't panic. Don't panic.

I'll... I'll find you. Okay?

I'll find you.

Okay.

28-30-0, can you do

me a reg check please?

A quick reg check.

Thank you.

I won't be long.

Lisa, I need to ask you a favor.

I really need your help.

I'll pay you whatever.

Nikolla?

Who are you?

I'm Lisa, friend of Michael's.

He brought you here.

Don't worry, you're safe.

I was forced to have

sex with lots of men.

If I didn't, I was beaten.

That went on for four years.

And then they put

me in the office.

Doing what?

Stuff with girls, then drugs.

They promised if I behaved

they would send me back home.

They would never have

let you go, you know that?

Can I use your phone, please?

I'm afraid I can't

let you make any calls.

I need to call my family,

they're not safe.

You never thought about going

to the police in all this time?

I'm scared of the police.

If you help Michael,

I'm sure he'll help you.

Can I use your phone, please?

He's busy?

Why you brought us down here?

Man, I need to talk to Michael.

It's been long.

I phoned him.

"Been long"? Why don't you talk

English, you f***ing monkey?

I've got something for him.

What is it?

I want to talk to Michael.

I can't trust you lot.

Honestly, can't trust

you Feds, man.

"Feds"? "Feds" is

f***ing American.

Are we in America?

No, but... No, but you listen

to me, you little c*nt!

Michael's busy, so you

tell us and we'll tell him.

I've got an address,

open house, no security.

All right, and what's there?

Weed.

Weed?

Yeah.

Is that f***ing it?

I mean kilos.

They're just waiting for

things to quieten down

before they move in.

How do you know

there's no one there?

I know. Davrav

put it there for sure.

Might be worth a look. Here.

Write the address down there.

I'll tell Michael

he said what he said.

No point, is there?

Michael's busy.

You sure?

We offer them three months

and we take 30%.

We let them run the routes

and then we renegotiate

after that period.

They can meet us tonight.

Sounds like you got it sorted.

I'll just...

I'll sit back and wait

till I'm needed, then, eh?

We good?

Yeah.

Yeah. Let's do it.

Yeah?

Let's do it.

Michael, long time

no see ya, man.

You brought a friend?

Yes. This is my DI,

David Knight.

He's running

the operation on you.

I think it's best if

we all have a chat.

I've explained to David

how we've been working so far.

And now we want to work out

something a bit more interesting.

Hmm. Do you?

We know how much

you're moving across Europe.

And we're willing to turn a

blind eye to your drug routes

for the next three months.

Michael, you changed, man.

What's this all about?

It's about moving

to the next stage.

Call it a probation

period if you like.

And what do you get from it?

A taste.

I reckon 30% would cover it.

30%? You f***ing joking?

30%?

No man, no deal.

Declined.

I know about Solucan, Nikolla.

I know how much money you're going to

be raking in from that new route, alone.

You need to keep me sweet.

Don't worry,

you'll be left completely

alone to operate.

We'll disappear.

Isn't that right, David?

Sorry?

I've said if...

They do what we want,

we'll leave them well alone.

I've no idea what

you're talking about.

The deal we've discussed.

Didn't discuss anything with ya.

Wait, wait, wait. Is this

a f***ing joke or what?

That's not... What you doing, David?

What you doing?

I'm removing meself

from this situation.

Just for the record, I want to state

that I had nothing to do with this.

What the f*** are

you playin' at?

I'm not playing at anything.

What, you're just

backtracking...

You just brought me

into this place, right?

This has got nothing

to do with me.

So everything we talked about

has just gone right out the window?

What did we talk about?

Am I f***ing dreaming?
